The Chalkboard

Can military schools survive?

With all that’s occurred at Oak Ridge Military Academy I thought I’d ask, who among you would send you child to a military school and why? Discipline? Leadership? A shot at college?

Is the idea of a military school outdated or should more schools adopt the regimen emphasized at such schools?

I don't think the concept is outdated and I think our public school system would greatly benefit from adopting that type of regimen. As it stands now, the children aren't getting the education they should be - so it might be a good idea for leaders to look at the various options.

My mom let my brother go to a military school for boys and through there it really gives him the success, personal fulfillment and happiness. He really achieved his goals and enjoy the training. Hope this might help you www.militaryschools411.com on enlightening you about military schools.
